[21:44] <syngindub> anyone here fed up with the current direction that ubuntu are going with their current release?
[21:44] <syngindub> i've switched to mint recently
[21:45] <infoturtle> hello syngindub, what's it you don;t like?
[21:46] <syngindub> hi infoturtle..i don't like an OS presuming i'm a complete idiot :)
[21:47] <infoturtle> you'll hate OSx so
[21:47] <infoturtle> :p
[21:47] <syngindub> i like to customise my OS and the latest version is a big let down. It probably suits more newbies
[21:47] <syngindub> never used OSx, have supported it alright but never used it
[21:47] <infoturtle> TBH I hate it's look, why move to unity when gnome 3 looks sssooooo good!
[21:48] <syngindub> whats the deal with gnome 3 though?
[21:48] <syngindub> do you need to build this yourself?
[21:49] <infoturtle> don't think so, I have an install guide for installing it to try it out if you want it
[21:49] <syngindub> are you installing gnome 3 on top of natty?
[21:50] <infoturtle> yep, soon as I get it I'm installing gnome 3.0 over it, it just looks better and less in the way
[21:50] <infoturtle> http://www.infoturtle.ie/tipsandtricks/installgnome3.0.php
[21:50] <syngindub> cheers for that. Have spent the last few days configuring mint though :) i've been know to blow an OS away after a few drinks though :)
[21:51] <infoturtle> ha ha
[21:52] <infoturtle> well, you just need to put a little bit more into natty to have it the way you'dlike it
[21:52] <IRWolfie-> I switched to arch
[21:52] <syngindub> i tried arch last year
[21:52] <IRWolfie-> seems ubuntu is starting to stray away from gnome
[21:52] <syngindub> highly customisable but i don't have the time for that much though
[21:53] <syngindub> yeah IRWolfie- , it's a huge dissapointment as i've been running it for the past 5 years or so..around breezy
[21:54] <syngindub> they are completely switching emphasis and i feel there will be a major shift in number from their OS after natty gets released
[21:54] <IRWolfie-> I've still got ubuntu on for work
[21:54] <IRWolfie-> but arch for my laptop
[21:55] <syngindub> arch is too cutting edge for my like :)
[21:55] <infoturtle> never used arch, is that it's full name?
[21:55] <syngindub> i used to spend all my time running updates with arch :)
[21:55] <IRWolfie-> arch linux
[21:55] <IRWolfie-> I like updates
[21:55] <IRWolfie-> and I especially like being on the bleeding edge :D
[21:56] <infoturtle> looks fancy!
[21:57] <IRWolfie-> it's not as newbie friendly as ubuntu, but it seems good for learning more
[21:57] <IRWolfie-> next, gentoo!
[21:57] <syngindub> it's great for learning alright..the arch community are great for documentation also
[21:57] <infoturtle> might try it out :D
[21:58] <infoturtle> for now tho, time to get online and play some unreal, see yall later!
[21:58] <syngindub> well worth it..highly configurable
